I am a first year nephrology fellow and I am actually liking this book a lot. It is easy to read, gives me an overview of the things I need to know. It is also fast to read as it has no bloated information like some of the other comprehensive books around. Makes a very good combo if you read with Feehally.It is fairly updated but I can only vouch for the chapters I have read. It is an NKF publication so you can't go wrong there. One of the few nephrology books (along with the Acid base disorders book by Rose and Post) which provide a continuous involving easy flow reading like you are reading a novel.It is not to be considered a reference book since it might be missing some 'not so rare' disorders of the kidney, but still worth every buck if you know this book's place!Recommended!
I am enjoying reading this book. It is very well organized, visually appealing and easy to read and understand. It contains all of the information necessary to form a solid foundation in nephrology, without going into details that might be tedious to someone without a background in the field. I especially appreciate the images and tables in this book - all are high quality and contribute to the text.The book comes with an activation code that allows the user to download the book in a mobile application called Inkling. The application works with iOS or Android. I use the app on my iPad and it is well done. The text is easy to navigate between chapters or within a particular chapter, search and highlight. All of the same content as in the printed book is included in the application, including images and tables.I wish all of my medical textbooks were as appealing as this one.
I have finished my Nephrology fellowship in 2013, during that time I was using the fifth edition of Primer as one of my sources for studying and it was a good one. The sixth edition has been revamped and I am especially happy with the fact that it is more in depth about pathophysilogy of disease (as opposed to sometimes just presenting facts in the 5th iteration).It also happens to be released after the JNC 8, the new Lupus studies, MGN studies so has updates that are crucial for anyone using it as a reference.It comes with an online access that allowed my to download the whole book in an interactive format on my phone (so you can search, bookmark, jump to chapters). The online edition though could be tricky when viewing on a phone as the graphs are more optimized for a tablet.
Since other editions, this book is an excellent companion when you are studying for the board of the Brazilian Society of Nephrology. It worked for me a decade ago, worked for other fellows since then.
Very interesting book, you can see the whole function, and anatomy before to start the pathology!!! very good, must use for internal medicine
I haven't finished it yet but it seems to be well written and organized.It is thorough and covers a multitude of topics.
